Any Arrhenius acid.

Explanation:

An Arrhenius acid is defined as a substance that introduces H^+ ions in solution. There are other definitions of an acid that are broader than this, but one that specifically introduces H^+ in solution is called an Arrhenius acid.

Some examples are HCl, HNO_3, H_2SO_4, and CH_3COOH
